@JustFrenchie4 @cliper112 Maybe it’s the content in the pass that’s the issue? Bc I haven’t played much of the new halo but I didn’t really hear good thing about what it had, I know Overwatch has some pretty mid things rn but I mean it’s not completely bad

@PlayOverwatch It’s super unfair that LOTS of people are playing this game while others cannot. We are behind them and they are at an advantage. Why is it that the overwatch team doesn’t shut their servers off and FIX them?!?

@PlayOverwatch Fix the character locks randomly changing. I’ve been with Overwatch since launch of 1, and on all consoles. After waiting for 6 1/2 hours to get in, my characters were all locked. Second time I logged in, they were unlocked, then third time, they were locked again.

The new Overwatch is so badly balanced and whole characters either became completely broken or completely useless.

Overwatch 2 first play after release! I was worried because I saw some news of other people running into problems trying to connect to the server but it seems it has been fixed. We got to play a lot of games and even tried out the new hero Kiriko. #トワイライヴ

@OWAnonymous_ Overwatch not mentioning the DDOS until the end of their post, and then saying it exacerbated issues is admission that the login issues were their fault from the start.

@BlizzardCS Don't mean to be annoying but I submitted a ticket 2 days ago, none of my items transferred over from Overwatch to Overwatch 2 besides the comp skin for genji, is it because im not playing on the original systems i played on, or is it an account error?

@PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCSEU_EN @Blizzard_Ent Please, for the love of god, fix the problems with people, that merged their PC accounts with console accounts in Overwatch. I wasn't able to connect to the servers ONCE, the whole time. I just want to play with my friends, man. 😢

@OrdinaryGamers ive had this issue on every single big overwatch update. one would expect blizzard to up their servers game for the big makeover/new game, but i guess not.

@kittnly The overwatch team did admit in the latest update that the ddos attacks are not the cause of the issues, but they have made it much more difficult to fix the issues in a timely manner due to how hard the system is stressed with their addition.

Overwatch has at least spoken on the issue of wiped accounts and have said no player data has been wiped or lost, so I guess I will get my account history back at some point. Who knows when though?

All of the problems with Overwatch 2, especially the LC-208 error for merging accounts just like they told us to do, has killed all the excitement I had for it, so much so that I’ve uninstalled it. I’ll just wait for Modern Warfare 2 Wait…

@AngryJoeShow Joining Asian or European login servers helps. But it's basically Overwatch 1 so idk

@PlayOverwatch How do I get into Overwatch 2 servers on PS5? I’ve been in queues that have resulted in login errors every single time for 30/40 hours since the game has been released. I just don’t know what else to try besides the unhelpful restarting of console and router
